I’m shopping for some 1” quick detach rings for use on a Murphy Precision picatinny rail for a heavy recoil 458 B&M.

Traditionally, I’d go straight to Talley and order, however it’s been 12 or so years since I’ve bought rings for a DR. Warne is also an option. These are heavy

Today, I came across a new to me brand that I found online and read many impressive positive reviews…Leapers UTG Max Strength LE Grade Quick Detach Picatinny Rifle Scope Rings. They are only 2.9 oz! Made in USA & a bargain @ $34.95.

What say you?
Any others I should consider?

The Leupold version of Cross slot Weaver rings are solid and reliable. Warnes are good, but heavy. I expect a 458 B&M to be somewhat of a carbine, wanting a lighter weight scope system.


Any Leapers rings I have seen are inexpensive aluminum (I don't care if Aircraft Grade Aluminum), made in China of dubious materials.

I would not trust aluminum rings on a 458 rifle.

If you want light weight and strong go for the Nightforce Titanium rings.
 
Talley or Warne for a little heavier option. DO NOT do the Leapers Chinese ones

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
